Well, it's not as though Ted McGinley was hosting a show.

Game shows aren't dead, they just smell funny.

FAKE EDIT:  If you think that's bad, Tim & Eric are working on a game show for Adult Swim called "Neil Hamburger's Big Ball."  Which leads me to ask is an intentionally awful game show better or worse than an unintentionally awful game show?

Anything with Tim & Eric's name attached to it spells instant crapola.  Need proof?  I dare you to sit through five minutes of "Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job" or "Tom Goes to the Mayor" without WTF'ing (and not in the funny "Family Guy" way).

They had to pick Tom?  Seth wasn't available?  Or Brian Austin?

I got a lot more enjoyment out of Awesome Show, Great Job when I found out most of the show is making fun of public access shows.

(...What, am I the only one that remembers Fred Willard's "Access America?")

Meanwhile, Burt Wheeler and Sharon Sussman are recycling the whittle-a-studio-audience-down formula from "Singled Out" (well, if they're recycling it's appropriate for Planet Green).

ObGameShow:  Tom Bergeron's already hosting "Supper Club" for the channel.
